T-ball Practice, Rock Climbing, and Swimming at YMCA

Today we went to the Y and met some of the kids that have been on our teams in the past as well as a new one. They are all signed up to be on Coach Jeff and I's T-ball team. This was just a little informal practice to introduce some of the kids to the sport, but most importantly for them just to have fun playing together. We had Tyler, Taylor, Caroline, Katie, and Caleb all there and all got to have a bunch of fun together. We practiced throwing, catching, and hitting the ball both off the tee and from a pitch in the air. All the kids did such a great job executing these things especially as this was very knew to all of them. T-ball requires alot more hand eye coordination than does soccer, so it will be a bit more challenging and at the same time be better in the development of their motor skills. Throwing at this age is usually not to much of a problem, however catching is something that they really have to work on as mastery of this usually comes at a later age. I was very pleased as was Coach Jeff to see how well they all did this early in their introduction to the sport. It will be very important that their parents work with them at home on these skills and fortunately it is something that they will enjoy doing.

We forgot the camera today so we apologize for not having any pictures. We will for sure get some for you the next time we play. Hopefully this time we can even post some video to the site.

Looks like we will have at least 6 to 8 kids returning from soccer to play T-ball so we are very excited about that. That was the team that won The Core Values Team of the Month. We hope to win it again, however we aren't really sure they will give it to the same team again. But you know we know we deserve it every time :o)

Keep watching the site and Taylor's page for more info and pictures of T-ball!
